Hey everyone ! I went back to the same old park this morning where I found the Baking co. token from 1923 . I decided to hunt the same part of the park to see if I could find some deep silver . Well no silver but I did find another old token ! It was at 8-9 inches deep and was just a whisper of a high tone . When I got down to it I had a strong +80 VDI on my MXT PRO . I thought I had a silver for sure . It was a crusty token that looked just like the other one . I also found two more wheats , 1944 & 194:clapping: .
When I got home I cleaned up the token and saw it was different ! This one is from Morgan Hill , California , the Bisceglia Bros. Canning Co. . On the back it has only the number 2 . I looked on the token site and it has no record of this token . I did find some history on the family and here is the link . It looks to be pre 1915 by what the link says .
If anyone has info on this token please let me know .
